MicroEssentials® SZ® vs. MAP Blend

Objective

Evaluate the yield response of spring wheat to MicroEssentials® SZ® (12-40-0-10S-1Zn) compared to MAP (11-52-0) + AS (21-0-0- 24S) and MAP.

OVERVIEW

  • Spring wheat is typically grown in the northern Great Plains and Western Prairie Provinces of Canada.

  • MAP is a common phosphorus (P) fertilizer applied to spring wheat.

  • MicroEssentials® SZ® is a premium fertilizer that provides uniform nutrient distribution of nitrogen (N), P, sulfur (S) and zinc (Zn), including a season-long supply of sulfur.
